Unsurpassed performance in an anti-aging multitasker, our patented NIA-114 (Niacin) molecule boosts Retinol's power to work harder, faster, more efficiently without the irritating side effects.

Now Retinol works harder, faster...smarter.

For the first time, two of the most powerful anti-aging actives unite in one powerhouse treatment. For Retinol (vitamin A) to achieve its age-fighting potency, it needs Niacin (vitamin B) to convert to its active form. StriVectin's proprietary NIA-114 molecule is one of the most active forms of vitamin B, with the ability to absorb deeply into skin and strengthen its moisture barrier, reducing Retinol sensitivity.

The pair forms a dynamic duo as NIA-114 activates Retinol's age-fighting power to work harder, faster, more efficiently without the irritating side effects. You get superior age-fighting benefits throughout the night to fight deep-set wrinkles, even out tone and texture, and deeply nourish skin. The result: the unsurpassed performance of Retinol without the irritation.

Warning: For external use only. Keep out of the reach of children. Avoid eye contact. If product comes into contact with the eyes, flush well with water. Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear. If irritation persists, consult a doctor. This product contains Retinol that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Use sunscreen daily.

Simple Steps to Save Face

A face cream with an SPF of 30 or higher should be a mandatory part of your beauty regimen

Your skin is the barometer of your health, and lifestyle choices literally make their mark on your face. No need to cover your face or panic. Just follow the commonsense guidelines below for skin preservation, and you'll be sure to radiate vitality and vigor.

Everyday skin care-keep it consistent

If you have dry skin, use a mild exfoliant with a heavier moisturizing cream that contains nut oils or aloe.

If your skin is oily, occasionally use an exfoliant with astringent properties and finish with a light, water-based moisturizer. Tea tree and citrus oils help tone skin between washings.

If you battle with problem skin, avoid using harsh exfoliants on breakouts. Instead, apply a deep-cleansing mask and a moisturizer with antibacterial ingredients such as tea tree oil and lavender.

Cover up-almost

Let the sun shine, but choose your exposure carefully.

A face cream with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher should be a mandatory part of your beauty regimen. Look for a cream that matches your skin type and wear it even on cloudy days.

Your body does, however, need some sun exposure, as the UV rays from sunlight trigger vitamin D synthesis in the skin. A 20-minute walk or bask in the early morning or late afternoon sun should suffice; you might prefer to wear a hat and let your arms and legs get the rays.
